Debtors for $4,000.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-In the examina-
ton of the accounts of Levi Bacon, late
financial clerk of the Patent Office, de-
ceased, it was found that about twenty

bia, practicing before the Office, were in
debted to the government on account of dis
honored checks and loans to them
by Bacon from the public funds in
various sums, aggregating about $780,
600. The Secretary of the Interior has
directed that these attorneys be notified
that failure to Immediately settle the
amounts due will be deemed sufficient cause
for disbarring them from practicing before
the Interior Department. 1t is learned that
Bacons bondsmen have notified the Patent
Office that they are ready to pay the amount
of the bond whenever the proper officials
shall certify that Bacon was defaulter to
that amount.

The Opponents of the Liquor Re-

Church.

Leayensorth, kas Feb. l5.-Intense ex.
element prevails here to-day, and there is
likelihood of a serious ARRAY before night
all owing to the following In this morning.
Leavenworth Times:
sunday night, at the close OF the services
at the NJ. f. church, considerable excite.
ment was crealed by the announcement OF
Mr.. Thomas Smith that all bodied
men of the congregation were requested to
meet In the lecture room OF the building at
once. But few in the audience appreciated
the importance Of such a meeting, and all
was excitement for several minutes. As
soon as the audience had passed out, about
fifty Gentleman congregsted in the room
below TO ascertain the object of the meet
ing.
During the opening services Rev. DIR.
Swaney, the pastor, was notified that a ru-
NOR was current upon the streets that q
mob was being formed in North Leaven-
worth of saloOnkeepers for the purpose of
lynching F. II. Anthony and Carl Muel-
Ter, who were then at Mueller's place of
business on Shawnee street. Mr.. VIM.
Fairchild and Mr.. Pierce were disp atched
as a committee TO visit Mueller and An
thony and ascertain whether they were
prepared FOR such au assault should be
made. Before go ing there they notife I.
Sheriff Churchill at the county Jail.
On arriving at Mueller's place of bust
ness these gentlemen found he and Anthony
had prepared themselves for any attack
that might be made; that they had so
barred the doors and taken other precau-
tions as to be able to wipe out of existence
the entire saloon element of this city be-
fore they could gain admittsnce.
MeSsrs Fairchild and Pierce returned to
the church and reported the above facts
when those assembled dispersed.
The rumor of the proposed mob was
considered well founded COR two reasons.
During Sunday afternoon fifteen or
twenty saloon keepers were noticed congre-
gated near the &C al shaft, and at night an
anarchist addressed body of the same
character at the opera house. About z
o'clock yesterday morning Mueller heard
noise at the back door of his business
the forms of three men near the window,
but they departed on discovering that
Mueller and Anthony were aiting to vel
come them with dose of cold lead
The anti-saloon men have made a stern
and strong fight against the Nicely admin
istration and the bill passed by the leglsla-
ture destroys all the well-laid plans of the
saloonists
There is intense excitement among
them and it is possible that it will
vent itself in an overt act of gross in
Justice before many hours have passed.
The saloonists deny having had any
thing to do with any attempt to kill Muel-
Ter.

diseased condition e.. 80. .erie,f action of
the kidneys and liver; therefore remedy
which cures the resulting disease must
have found and smitten the first cause.
Many persons using AthlOphoros for
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised To find that chronic disorders of
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly on these organs,
cleansing them from all irritating sub
stances and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with Athlophoros Pills this
is, without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world, and
will cure large proportion Of those who
have these diseases.
Charles F. Griffin, Stuart, Iowa, says:
:" have not had an ache or pain of rheu-
matism since used the Athlophoros, which
is now over year ago. For three months
INV store was closed, not being able to At
tend to my business at all. My joints
were swollen and there did not seem to be
any part of my body that did not ache.
After suffering in this way until the pain
was almost beyond endurance, went TO
the Colfax Springs to try the effects of the
water The day left home l had to be
carried down stairs. After remaining at
the Spring a month / came back, being
some better. After being home few weeks

that learned of Athlophoros. sent for
a bottle Of il and in fifteen minutes after i
had taken the first dose felt its effects, and
when had finished the third bottle was
well. Ihave not had any rheumatism since.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and AthlophOros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., liz Wall St., New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is $1.0O per bottle

Six Killers, SIayers.

Fort Smith, Feb. l7.-Reports from the
Indian territory are not very encouraging.
LawleSsness seems to be on the increase,
while murderers and other criminals riot
in their wanton acts OF deviltry and defy
the United States authorities by their re-
peated diabolical deeds. Vann and Cum
ningham, the reported murderers of Six
killer, are ranging about Webber's Falls,
often seen, but not molested. Some of the
valiant deputy msrshals might find it a
profitable catch to bring in these worthless
and take in the premiums set on their
virtuous heads by the United States
government. The efficient marshal
here should no longer be financially
cramped and compelled to limit his force
in the Indian country for want of means
to bring to speedy justice the miserable
wretches that infest that country. More
than twenty murders have been committed
in sixty days, and some of them of the
most brutal character, yet the arrests have
been necessarily small for the above
reconstructed appropriations. The
adjacent territory is filling up rapidly with
refugees from justice from all the states,
and q stronger force is absolutely ncces-
sary for the security Of life and property.
IL is to be hoped that the solons at Wash
ington will zee after this matter.

Louisville, KY, Feb. I5.-Roman coun-
ty, Kentucky, is celebrated for its Iawless.
ness, has another sensation. The grand
jury has returned true bills against Harry
5. Logan, Morgan McFlury and Lou Ray
born, charging them with the crime of con-
decorating and banding themselves togeth-
er for the purpose of kslling Judge A. E.
Cole and A. L. c. Young, the new county
attorney OF Roman county The scheme to
murder these men was detected just in time
to save their lives and in this way as
such suspicious characters were seen Turk
ing around the town and about the depot,
whom the sheriff arrested and placed un-
der guard. He gave as his name, James
A. Harris, alias Pendulum. He after
ward confessed to his uncle that he had
been hired to assist in killing the above
parties, having promised to secure four
other parties to aid him. The men were
to receive 500 tor their murderous work.

the faction bearing his nome, hired Harris
The five would-be assassins were to have

on was to shoot their victims from the

If bolh these plans failed, they were to fire

Labor Turns Politician.

Cincinnati, Feb. 1.-THE labor convent
ion which is TO assemble next Tuesday Is
now the absorbing topic IN all political
circles, it is called for the organization, or
at least to discuss the prOpriety OF the or
ganization of new national party in the
interest OF the workiRgmen. The great striks
made in many parts OF the country during
the past year the labor candidates and the
unusual questions concerning laboring
men, have combined TO encourage the
originators of the convention that
il is time To form Ma.
tional party. IL is expected
that 10, 900 delegates will be here. 80 far,
there is very little speculation concerning
the outcome of the organization. IL is not
expected that it will do more than adopt a
platform.

War RunnOr.

Berlin, Feb 1.-THE North German
Gazette says: The Liberal press circulate
Hrbiet oTbi. the falsehood that Europe lives
in condition OF most profound peace and
that contrary statements and msnoevres
intimidate poor electors and influence them
to favor the Sepiennate. In support of this
ass, rtion reference is made TO the de-
claration of Gen. Won Schellendorf when
he introduced the army bill in the reich
stag The political horiz4n was totally
different then. 1t has since become cloud
ed. Solely the consequence of the
attitude OF the opposition whose
unpatriot conduct causes con-
viction in France that Germany is
weakened by internal divisions and that
the moment to attack Germany has arriv-
ed. General Won SchelIendOrfs words
when uttered were appropriate to the situ-
alton, but he would scarcely repeat them
to-day, the opposition having
cunjured up danger of a war
which will only disappear when
France sees that Germany does not allow
unpatriotic politicians to lead her, that is
when a majority is returned to the Reich
tag, determined to project the empire
against her enemies
